These students were selected owing to their great presentations about the Sustainable Development Goals to different audiences within the Active Global Citizenship Programme.
It was a privilege to listen to Liberian Nobel Peace Laureate 2011, Leymah Gbowee, handing in the prize to 17 year old Abraham Keita: "Is this the world we want our children to learn from? [...] Can we all make a commitment today to live lives that kids will be proud to emulate? STEP OUT AND DO ONE GOOD THING EVERYDAY THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SCARED TO DO!"
Our students were very inspired by the life example, leadership, passion and public speaking skills of the 2015 Children's Peace Prize Winner Abraham Keita (17 years old). He comes from the West Point slum in Liberia and is a human rights campaigner against police brutality and violence against women, girls and youth in general.
A memorable evening!
